COLLISION - Deductible amounts are indicated in the motorcycle type section on page 8 of the manual. Deductibles for Comprehensive Coverage and Collision Coverage may be different. Physical damage deductibles for a motorcycle on a multi-vehicle policy may be different. Collision Coverage cannot be purchased without Comprehensive Coverage. A 15% surcharge applies to Comprehensive Coverage when purchased without Collision Coverage. Comprehensive only policies are available on off-road vehicles without a surcharge. (D3.) ACCESSORY COVERAGE: Comprehensive coverage must be present Deductibles are the same as physical damage. $2,000 of coverage for insurable special equipment (accessories) is included with the purchase of comprehensive and collision coverage. Additional accessories may be insured at a premium charge of 5% of their new cost up to $10,000. PLEASE NOTE THAT ANY VEHICLE WITH MORE THAN $10,000 NON-FACTORY EQUIPMENT, REGARDLESS WHETHER COVERAGE IS REQUESTED OR NOT, IS AN UNACCEPTABLE VEHICLE.

2) The labor of performing the process or the cost of labor for the installation of any powder coated or custom painted part. 3) Any substituted stock part from another model or model year cycle, or the cost of labor for their substitution. As motorcycles age and are sold or traded, the closer the vehicles are to their original stock configuration the more valuable they become. Motorcycles are insured on an Actual Cash Value (ACV) basis. Accessories are also insured on an ACV basis. In almost all circumstances, adding $5,000 of insurable accessories to a vehicle does not increase the value of the vehicle by $5,000. (D4.)

A maximum of 5 service calls are allowed per policy term with a maximum benefit of $500 per incident.
